Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted January 13 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 13 Waffleton G. Butterworth, III will love this flopping fish. I will make sure he gets his new fish. Thank you. I recognize the last name on the greeting, but I will keep it secret. Sunshine Committee is a very secret society. Waffleton is inside his new home right now. Litterbox, food, water and his towel is with him. He had a rough day and is presently hiding. But, I know this guy is perfect to care for kitty. This man has the next four days off to help make waffle feel comfortable and at home. As he drove off to his new home in a mini Cooper, I felt a slight pain. The pain of missing him is real. I had a meeting tonight. When I got home I felt a little sad. His little water bowl was there. Although, I am in pain from missing him I know this is such a better home for him. Living inside with his human, sleeping with his human and being protected. Thank you to everyone that encouraged me and helped me along this journey. I had never fostered a kitty before. It really opened my eyes to a brand new and exciting experience. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan ★ Posted January 13 Share #2 Posted January 13 The SC has been outed numerous times. In many ways, we’re all the committee. Waffleton might appreciate a visit from Auntie DH. Or… you could save the cat toy for the next foster? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Mrs. S. ..and thank you for educating me about that thread. I will be more thoughtful when speaking on behalf of animals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby ★ Posted January 13 Share #5 Posted January 13 It's not surprising that he'd be a little shy after the move, but he'll adjust and it sounds like a perfect home for a friendly kitty. The one cat that I adopted from a shelter (rather than one that just found me) came right out of her carrier and hid under a giant dresser for almost two days, coming out just for a quick bite. But she adjusted very quickly once she felt at home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to have someone who loves your pet care for it while you are gone is a HUGE boost, so maybe you let the new guy know to give you a call if he needs someone to watch Waffles if he goes away for a vacation. Aunt DH will get some Waffle-time! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt DH will get some Waffle-time! Supposedly, this guy trevels with his cats. He asked how he does in the car. When he went with HODH, he just layed down. He meowed a little, but didn't freak out, climb down into the pedals or cause problems. He just chilled out and stayed next to him. Of course, we would help if asked. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted January 13 Author Share #11 Posted January 13 I miss him this morning. No cute face looking in the wondow this morning. No lap cuddling with the kitty purring away with his little chirpy cooing. This is so much better for Waffleton though. We are just gone too much and are very busy people. I am telling myself I did the right thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People thought I was worried about my cat. Truth is, my cat was (is) a great comfort to me. He's a big softie with a hearty purr. Very good for stressed out nerves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article that said cats purring is the same vibration that helps to heal broken bones and repair injury. It wasn't a bullshit article, I saw it in Scientific American. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-cats-purr/#:~:text=Various investigators have shown that,provide help for some humans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted January 13 Share #14 Posted January 13 Maybe that's why I'm basically healthy. The cats always snuggle with me and purr. ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby ★ Posted January 13 Share #15 Posted January 13 I once heard someone describe their cat as a "comforting little presence" and I know what they mean. There's something very peaceful about seeing my cat nap so contentedly and make cute little snoring noises. But from everything you've said, DH, it definitely sounds like this was the right decision for Waffle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deciding to give him up, and the missing little guy has been painful. I know this is the best thing for Waffle. He will be safe and taken care of. The new owner loves him. He thanked me over and over for "this amazing gift." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
